I'm definitely not a guru, but I think you want to use
initrd=/dev/sdaX and it figures out where the root is in the
compressed filesystem ramdisk-x11.image.gz.
I'm not sure this will work for you, but you could try.
If you're looking to become a guru, then you can read this and be on your
way.

It's probably a lot more info than you were looking for.
Good Luck,
